[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, 6 months -- you need to ride it out. It's almost odd that you have the extreme thoughts of ending your marriage, you displayed in your first post, after only 6 months.[/quote]

DP-ride what out? In all seriousness.  OP, get yourself a therapist if you don't have one. Take care of yourself.  Trust yourself and your intuition.  [/quote]

In the (hopefully) long arc of a marriage, 6 months is nothing. Sure it feels like it at the time, but age, illness, employment, circumstances - everything changes and evolves. The vows are for better *and* for worse.[/quote]

+1, From someone married 30 years

Get marriage counseling or whatever it takes to jump start things and figure out why DH is not reacting to whatever is stressing him, in the way he used to react to stress. And PP is right. Six months is a blip if you are committed. Ask yourself why your mind so quickly jumps to divorce instead of your first reaction being, what's different this time about his "stress"?

He needs to get on board with pinpointing whatever problem he's having that's shutting him down. That may be a marital problem but coukd instead be something else that's not about you, OP, or about the marriage. Of course DCUM always insists "It's an affair" but if you assume that and it wasnt true-- you'll have ditched your marriage over a phantom affair. [/quote]
